I wish @degette.house.gov would NOT spend money on 8 x 11 flyers with ridiculous attack ads. Don't insult my intelligence. Just tell us what you're going to do.
Let Kyle Clark interview you.
People are fed up with this amount of waste.
@DeGette5280 If you are 2 much of a coward 2 b interviewed by @KyleClark , u r definitely not brave enough 2 fight 4 us in DC. We got rid of that baby Cory Gardner 4 the same reason. u make a lot of accusations about other Dems though your SuperPac but u won't book an interview?!
@schumer.senate.gov Instead of standing at that damn podium, why don't you gather the rest of the Dems and DO SOMETHING?!!!!!!!!
Surely you can find some way to fight this. If not, what good have all those years in politics been?
Have any of the Dems that joined the GOP in voting to open the gov, actually read the SAVE act? I'd like to know. Because that's their damn job. If so, please reassure us that it will not be detrimental to our elections and will not hamper any citizen's ability to vote. @schumer.senate.gov
The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
Remember this.
As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance.
If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?
The current flu out there is seriously brutal. Everybody needs to be vaccinated against flu and COVID-19 too—no matter what propaganda is being spread by RFK Jr. When the health secretary gives medical advice, get a second opinion.
Does anyone have a list of everything this nightmare administration has done this year? I started to make a daily list but it was exhausting (and nauseating). I think I completed one day, if that.

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.
According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.
Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

I’m so fucking sick of weak-ass Democrats who refuse to see that the GOP is not a political party and is, in fact, a terrorist organization. Stop trying to negotiate with terrorists. It’s not hard. That’s why so many people fall for the “both sides are the same” bullshit.
That was a big waste of time. What the hell is wrong with those Dems? Why would they do this without an actual deal?
I'm really pissed that they put us all through this for nothing!!
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
Tapper: Angus King said standing up to Donald Trump didn't work.
Sanders: Maybe Angus didn't notice the elections on Tuesday. I thought that they worked pretty well.

Eight Democratic Senators are selling us out the people & voting to open the government without get any guarantees, including healthcare. Articles identifies 5 of the 8 Senate Dems - Kaine, Fetterman, Shaheen, King & Hassan.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?
I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.
Of course they're worried about air travel. They don't want the airlines to lose any money. God forbid!
The regular person in the US has NO REPRESENTATION.
@schumer.senate.gov did you ever have a backbone? hard to believe you're a New Yorker.
You're going to allow the cruel actors in the GOP to put everyone through this again in January — all for a promise? Since when has the MAGA GOP ever kept a promise?
After being consumed by 10 months of darkness, our country needed this shot of hope. I hope we can build on the momentum and defeat the evil that has taken over.
Where the F**K are all the Ex-Presidents particularly the Republican ones? Where are all the ex POTUS-candidates, and ex-congress members?!
Don't any of them give a s*it? (Rhetorical)
This s/b enough e evidence to prove that NONE of them care. They don't have to. They're all living cushy lives.
George was just trying to get to work.
ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.
This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

When I had a toddler at home - I used to say to myself, certainly, I'm smarter than this 3-year-old. I need to use my brain instead of my emotions 2 convince her.
Collectively, we should come up with a list of things we can do to start making REAL change to get our democracy back.
Any ideas?
New chant for town halls:
SY-CO-PHANT
SY-CO-PHANT
SY-CO-PHANT
...and when they throw out the "tax savings" line respond with—
Tariffs are a tax. (chant that too) A higher more regressive tax. There are no tax cuts for the regular people.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Every blue state governor needs to follow Gavin Newsom's lead. Defensive redistricting is not only required, it's essential.
Do whatever you have to do to save us or, I guess, we have to assume you're also against democracy.

It’s outrageous that Sec. Kennedy is trying to fire the CDC Director — after only a few weeks on the job — for her commitment to public health & vaccines.
The Sen. HELP Committee must hold a hearing with Kennedy & the CDC Director as soon as possible.
Vaccines save lives. Period.
